<<< Jenkins said the BMS contract would likely tie up 60 engineers for 2 years >>> Not exactly; the word "likely" is missing. Here's the e-mail message (which came to this board from TM through Venture Returns E-mail Network? Weird. Also, I'm not sure these comments by Jenkins were intended for public discussion. They go way beyond the press release.) >CEO Jenkins Comments on Topro's Contract with Bristol-Myers Squibb > >Corvallis. Venture Returns E-mail Network. Dec. 19, 1997. Topro >announced a major contract with Bristol-Myers Squibb this morning. Later, >Topro CEO John Jenkins expanded on the announcement. Total rollout of >the BMY contract could employ 60 of Topro's consulting engineers full time >for the next two years according to Jenkins. This contract is a major >validation of Topro's solution to Year 2000 problems in embedded chips. Hmmm ... "could" ... hmmmm .... if what? We don't know. Also, JDN: Your estimate used a very high hourly wage, but Jenkins may have cut a deal with BMY because of the size of the corporation, a la comments at the CC. I'm guessing your estimate is too high, but I'm hoping you are right. Wade
